Hello
Just for the sake of trying to understand this tool I did:
- run "dr-agent.exe" and click once the "Collect info" button
- It runs for some minutes and created the file: C:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR\20250613-085625\crcdata.csv
- Run "os2doctor c:" to run the snapshot compare process (I guess). It run a batch process that ended in:
[c:\OS2]
c:\Home
c:\IBMCOM
c:\MPTNxxx
DosQueryFSInfo error: return code = 15
Success.
No idea what else to do. I don't know if there is a report that can show me the changes on the files to find the possible problem.
I found it generated an HTML report on the same directory where os2doctor.exe is running. I guess now I know how it works. The report requires more work, but it is a good first try.
Eugene, if you need an English readme here it is something you can improve:
OS/2 Doctor
Version: 2025-04-06
Homepage: http://os2.guru/os2doctor
Author: eCo Software
=== Description ===
OS/2 Doctor is a collection of utilities aimed to test the integrity of OS/2. OS/2 Doctor consists in two components, the agent (dr-agent.exe) and the main utility (os2doctor.exe).
The idea is to take first an snapshot on your working system and later you can compare it with your future system with an HTML report this tool provides. This report will help troubleshoot any problems.
=== How to use: ===
1) Taking the Capsule (Snapshot):
On an OS/2 working system run "dr-agent.exe" and click once the "Collect info" button that will show up on the screen.
A procedure starts that will scan your hard drive files and collect the information on the C:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR directory.
For example: x:\HOME\OS2DOCTOR\20250613-085625\crcdata.csv
2) Analyzing Changes
If an problem occurs on your OS/2 system you can analyze the changes from the latest capsule (snapshot) with the following command.
os2doctor.exe x:
Where x: is the drive to analyze.
It will start to compare the capsule (snapshot) with the current drive:
â–“â–“â–“OS/2 Doctor, collect analysis about system / version: Q0405
c:
Found: 1 capsules (= savings, sessions)
Going to compare current state with the latest one..
Press any key to Start. Press Ctrl-Break to Exit
Press any key to start the scanning. You will see on the command line the scanning procedure.
Once the procedure is completed, a new directory will be created with the HTML report of the changes. For example:
x:\....\Doctor-report-20250613-095322
Open "report.html" with the browser to see the report of changes in your system.
=== Restrictions ===
1) You can manually edit the list of capsules (snapshot) located in:
x:\Home\OS2DOCTOR\os2doctor.list
Names should be longer than 8 characters.

Shareware. License cost: 500 rubles.
